Article Title: Inset guide for the osteocutaneous fibula flap with endosseous implants in oncologic jaw reconstruction
Abstract: Reconstruction of segmental maxillary or mandibular defects with osteocutaneous free flaps can be reliably accomplished; however, buccal or lingual rotation of the fibula during rigid fixation can render immediate endosseous implant position unusable for functional dental rehabilitation. To address this issue, a custom inset guide is introduced which utilizes surface topography of the immediately placed dental implant abutments and the patient's dentition to orient the fibula segments during inset. Use of this technique facilitates successful endosseous implant position to optimize postoperative functional rehabilitation.
